Abstract
This article describes three models of service delivery to the severely and profoundly handicapped and advocates a transdisciplinary model, in which team members serve as consultants to one primary service implementor. Data are given to demonstrate the inefficiency of one traditional program of service delivery. The authors suggest that professional responsibilities be more equally shared among team members, and that team members for all disciplines have a functional understanding of applied behavior analysis to use as a common set of techniques.Keywords
